Ballard’s burlap message board has gotten a lot of knock-off love throughout the blogosphere.
Considering all the renditions I have seen of the popular board, I can’t help but be a little surprised when I come across a new take on it.
Mel from {Frantz} Featherings created a spot-on copycat by attaching corkboard to a canvas and then wrapping it with burlap.
While Mel says the canvas is a pricier alternative to foam core, it really helped her achieve the look she was after.
Mel was inspired by the Burlap Message Board from Ballard Designs.

I love all the message boards I see from Ballards. I am amazed how much they cost! I really like this one and am inspired to make one for myself. Thanks

Mel’s version definitely is a ringer!

I like Mel’s version better, she uses more nail heads. In fact I purchased 3 different sizes of canvas at goodwill very cheap, I know what I’m going to make. Thanks for the inspiration Mel!

Gotta love Goodwill! Good luck with your canvases. 🙂
